Dog Licenses and the Leash Law

Owners of dogs four months or older are required to obtain a dog license every year.

The licensing period begins April 1 and ends March 31 of the following year. Licenses are sold year-round, with new licenses usually available for purchase in the City Clerk’s Office in March of the new licensing year. 2020 licenses will be available on March 9, 2020.

Every owner or keeper of a dog is responsible to prevent their dog from becoming a public nuisance, such as trespassing upon public or private property and deposit feces thereon unless said feces are immediately removed by the owner or keeper of said dog.

Dog owners shall be subject to all fines and penalties as set by city ordinance.
